'I love Ashley Hay's writing . . . it's so poised and beautiful.'
Guardian 'A moving and lyrical story of marriage, motherhood and
age. Highly recommend.' Cari Rosen, author of The Secret Diary of a
New Mum (Aged 43 1/4) When Elsie Gormley leaves the Brisbane house
in which she has lived for more than sixty years, Lucy Kiss and her
family move in, eager to establish their new life. As they settle
in, Lucy and her husband Ben struggle to navigate their
transformation from adventurous lovers to new parents, taking
comfort in memories of their vibrant past as they begin to unearth
who their future selves might be. But the house has secrets of its
own, and the rooms seem to share recollections of Elsie's life with
Lucy. In her nearby nursing home, Elsie traces the span of her
life-the moments she can't bear to let go and the places to which
she dreams of returning. Her beloved former house is at the heart
of her memories of marriage, motherhood, love, and death, and the
boundary between present and past becomes increasingly porous for
both her and Lucy. Over the course of one hot Brisbane summer, two
families' stories intersect in sudden and unexpected ways. Through
the richly intertwined narratives of two ordinary, extraordinary
women, Ashley Hay uses her lyrical prose, poetic dialogue, and
stunning imagery to weave an intricate, bighearted story of what it
is to be human.
